And in this thread there is no general consensus. To quote the famous dee-luded, in this thread regarding Hale, "some liked, some didn't, & many liked others". Mass consensus my arse.

You do realise what is happening in this thread, with mainly just you pushing it, is not actually considered MASS? We were never going to pay overs for Hale. The FD are not stupid. They dont need you to help them out in their decisions, and also dont listen.

You actually reckon they have read this thread and listened, dont you?

If Brad wants to go to the Tigers we will get him there. He was going to be delisted anyway. If the trade happens, expect it to be similar to the Steven King to Saints for pick 99 deal.

This is just a rumour in the Live Trade Blog. Nothing concrete. And considering its from people just putting out rumours, probably false.

Okay...if I am reading what you are saying correctly...and using this example... The forum poster (who is the one saying they want to keep the costs down for Player X) is the boss of the football department? HA!

I actually cannot believe my eyes. You are surely joking? Let's hope we can do it our way? As in, let's hope the FD do what forum posters want? Surely not? I would much prefer the FD to do it their way, considering that's what they are paid to do. Im make a left field assumption that they have far better knowledge of all players in the league and their worth to our team than you do. Crikey...what a tool.

They hit that on the head today so I doubt it. Advantage rule is good, 3 and a sub will be interesting.

If we take a highly rated young key defender in this upcoming draft with an early pick I am sure I wont be alone in being disappointed. If he is best available, sure. But there is no way key defender of any mould is required. We have the makings of one of the best defences in the league, Grimes wouldn't get a spot in it. If we thought Grimes was worthy, he would be on our list. We passed on him on several occasions. Namely the PSD.

He probably wasn't even scripted for all that! Everything he said was just true haha

Who knows what they actually do. Its just a title. We have Connolly in his role of General Manager of Football. Probably pretty similar.

You mean he is also really really tall? What else do you know about Gawn that makes his attributes similar to Sandilands?

Yep

If anybody has ever got a gig at afl level because of their name, then this is the man.

Nope, Harley has moved on from GWS. He was there to play a part in them gaining a license and forming a club, and now that has been done he has moved on. I think he is pretty comfy in his chair at channel 7. I like the milburn suggestion

Okay, hopefully one last comment from my behalf. The spirit of the accolade is the fairest and best player during the home and away season. Finals = different season essentially. Simple.

Fair to say a few have justified it by saying it occurred in 2009, and he won then 2010 Brownlow. Pretty straight forward.

Apologies, serves in 2010. Even still, does not matter.

Okay let's run through a few facts quickly. Suspended in 2009? Yes Serves suspension in 2009? Yes New season starts for 2010: You want ineligibility for 2010 brownlow how? We do not run a 09/10 season, what happened last year stays in last year. Maybe contact the commission and submit a proposal for another rule change if you like, I guarantee it would be laughed at.

And excuse those of us who don't have your one side view. I'm not sure how you can keep raising last years suspension. How is it in any way relevant to this year?

Don't let facts get in the way of a good whinge

Well said Billy

Agree with you. To me it was genuine, and if you think otherwise you underestimate the profound effect Jimmy has on people he meets. When shaking hands with the past winners, Judd also stopped at Jimmy and said 'you're an inspiration' while looking him in the eye. That wasn't for the cameras or for the room, that was genuine also.
